It, along with 301 of its CSX siblings, were actually delivered as a 4400 HP ES44DC. Around 2010, CSX actually downgraded the prime movers to 4000 HP and redesignated the units as ES40DCs. UP is currently leasing this one as it sits on the ready track at North Yard. Email Questions or Comments to the Webmaster or add a comment to the picture.
